Vacuum-Assisted Excision, Scarless Solution for Fibroadenoma Breast—A Single-Center Experience

Abstract: Background Fibroadenoma is one of the most common benign breast lesions that is frequently surgically excised in breast practice. Aim The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided (USG) vacuum-assisted excision biopsy (VAEB) of fibroadenoma. Settings and Design A retrospective observational study. Methods and Materials A total of 113 patients with 163 fibroadenomas who underwent USG-guided VAEB under local anesthesia with 7G and 10G probes using an Encor Enspire equipment were included in the study. The patients were followed up after 1, 6, and 12 months. The fibroadenomas up to 4 cm were excised as per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved guidelines of the American Society of Surgeons for percutaneous removal of benign breast lesions. Results The percentage of complete excision rate was 98.8% and the most frequent complication encountered was hematoma including immediate and delayed accounting for 3.06%. There were no recurrent lesions in our study. Conclusion USG-guided VAEB of benign breast lumps can be a safe and effective alternative to surgical excision and had better patient satisfaction in terms of efficacy and cosmesis.
